Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger faced backlash for belittling Ukrainian drone makers, prompting responses up to President Zelenskyy.

Ukraine’s drone sector benefits from widespread small-scale production and close user-manufacturer collaboration for rapid improvements.

While drones pose new threats, tanks remain essential due to their combined firepower, protection, and battlefield mobility.

Germany’s military doctrine on drones is still evolving, with Ukrainian combat experience serving as a vital knowledge base.

If every housewife in Ukraine can actually manufacture drones, then every housewife in Ukraine can be the CEO of Rheinmetall.
— Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, said this during a press conference about Ukraine’s drone industry.
